The National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador announced that this new educational program will be implemented during the upcoming school period. The program, produced in partnership with Wespark, seeks to explain bitcoin and money concepts to public school students in a simple way.
El Salvador Finalizes Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 Program Development Phase
El Salvador is on the verge of expanding its bitcoin and money programs with a new educational development.
The National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) of El Salvador recently announced the completion of its Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 educational program, an overhaul of prior attempts to bring bitcoin and money concepts to Salvadoran public schools.
The program, developed in partnership with innovation agency Wespark, explains the story of money and the rise of bitcoin in the simplest way possible, avoiding technical jargon.
Nelson Inno, Wespark founder, stated:
“What we need is a learning process that accelerates adoption, that simplifies what seems complicated.”
The goal of this program is to grow the financial and monetary literacy of Salvadoran students with various tools, including integrated visualizations and over 2,000 images.
ONBTC highlighted that the contents of this new program are purely educational and don’t promote any investment advice. The program will not only be available for public schools, but also to the general public seeking to learn more about bitcoin.
Teachers are also part of this program, as ONBTC confirmed that it will organize training sessions to help prepare them to deliver bitcoin-related content in classrooms.
According to local reports, ONBTC has not detailed the number of schools implementing this program, the program’s budget, or the evaluation method to be applied to students.
Since El Salvador hopped onto the bitcoin bus in 2021, declaring it legal tender, the government has also been involved in several educational programs to bring bitcoin knowledge to Salvadorans.
These include the “What is money?” program, designed for elementary school students, and the CUBO+ initiative, focused on training Salvadoran professionals to become high-level bitcoin and Lightning Network (LN) developers to be recruited by foreign or national companies in the cryptocurrency industry.

Bitcoin community gospel! The first quantum-resistant Bitcoin trading solution that requires no soft fork, QSB, is here
StarkWare’s Avihu Levy publicly unveils a post-quantum bitcoin trading scheme, “Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB),” which can fend off quantum attacks without modifying the Bitcoin protocol. QSB addresses the quantum-safety problem using a hash function; it runs within the existing framework, and each transaction requires roughly $75 to $150 in computational fees. The scheme has not yet been integrated into consumer wallets, so users should avoid reusing addresses and monitor the wallet development progress.
